Sad to see this channel is inactive. These videos helped me improve greatly in only my first few months on skis. Hopefully many others have benefited from this great resource. Many thanks to all athletes who contributed and the creators also.

[@ericgray56]

Jesper my guy, man GREAT job! I thought that was you and then once I heard the voice then I knew it was you. You taught and showed me some great things in your stint of training and helping out with the football team while at Univ of Alabama. I was just talking of you the other day to one of my athlete clients I now train back at my facility I train at. UA just wasnt quite ready for you then but you sure knew your craft. Keep it up EXPERT!!!

[@kevindaly1152]

Hertz, Hz, units are cycles per second, not cycles per minute. Not a big deal but just thought I would mention it. Thanks for this useful video.

[@JohnP470]

Another great video from Swedish Winter Sport Research Center. Thanks for publishing.

[@h2ojamesj]

[@bergsteirer]

Good video and great intro song ;-)

[@kenhill3706]

Great video - I am a subscriber now.

[@reillyhall4419]

That was really cool

[@JLP4444]

All sports centers should be required to compose their own intro ditties....

[@mrpeterfrazier]

4:52 There is no compliance with the metronome beat. I wish that saw this girl more often. Rise and shine Sweden. Harder, faster, stronger.

[@Ystadcop]

After watching that I feel the need to go and lie down.

[@tomatojuice12]

The sit-ups that she is doing with the Brutal Bench - isn't that really bad for the back? (8:00 marker). Thank you.

[@julianphillips2100]

Who did they get to come up with that song lol ?

[@alfshumway5421]

Are theses exercises applicable to both skate and classic skiing?

[@adelarsen9776]

Congrats to Charlotte Kalla. Red White and Blue to dominate :-)

[@4455matthew]

although eternally impressed by cross-country ski - and many other - athletes, one only has so much time in life and must make choices, so I choose reading, cooking better, and moderate exercise, hahahaha.

[@kmtbrooks]

Some of these exercises require full extended joints (the wheel one) this will NOT be good for joint health - or for strength. Strength comes from flexed joints, not straight ones. Wheel to 3/4 position (where the hands would be for double pole) woul dbe better.

[@sylvestervoigt9836]

Try the TRX training that uses straps attache from a platform & cage that you hold onto. These X-C Ski movements then feel safer.

[@amando96]

How do you feel about weighted back squats? Also, is the barbell row a good replacement for the bench pull?

[@johncee1481]

försökte med the Russian and a 5kg ball, after 20 I gave up.....30k skating as normal aaargh !

[@filitosa2]

cool

[@pellezackrisson]

Seal rowing @ 6:30!

[@Monkeytail]

What is the tempo-device called (brand) ?

metronome,there is old-mechanical ones,and newest, electronical,look up in google

[@alesnovak3781]

Korg KDM-2

[@billybatseenddeeerste1271]

2:14 i'm sorry, wut? You call that a one legged squat? That my man, is a lunge

[@davidconjefferson]

Yaaaah

[@tobyaustin4018]

Knee in front of the toe when squatting is outdated

[@lassehoei]

So how are you supposed to make progressive overload in these exercises?

[@ceeb40]

add weight....

[@thomsnekk]

keep on doing that good work, than maybe you can challenge the Norwegians....:) (add some hours)

[@PokePresto]

However Sweden never wins haha jk. Love my Swedish bros greatings from Norway.

[@T12J7]

[@rudnyjj]

Ничего я и не понял

[@pink_pixie1994]
